The Gonzaga Bulldogs dropped one spot in the latest AP Poll to No. 17 despite a couple of wins in a largely calm week for the top 25.
The Zags had one good win and one nail-biter, with the Pacific Tigers surprisingly giving Gonzaga a lot more than most were expecting in a narrow 81-78 Zags’ win on Thursday, in Stockton.
The Zags followed that up with a dominating performance against the Saint Mary’s Gaels, winning 82-57.
As is the case in the polls, teams win and move up. Teams lose and move down. However, things are different for the WCC, with less opportunities for those quality wins.
